The only thing this side of heaven that we can always count on is CHANGE. It can be hard - but more often it is GOOD - and propells us forward, in our relationship with Christ. Any change in life, whether big or small, is a catalyst for spiritual change in our hearts. Change helps us let go of this World, and cling tighter to our Heavenly Father who trandscends the time and circumstance in front of us. Peace comes when we are able to embrace change and see that God has created ALL of life's circumstances (the good, the bad and the ugly!) to sift us and chip away at our very souls, so that God can bring us to a point of "completion."
I was making pattern cards for kids at school today - everytime I changed the colors or shape, I thought about how it changed the overall picture. Sometimes change comes as a big contrast to the life we are used to:
But, sometimes its only something small that changes:
Sometimes the change is so small that you can barely even notice it:
We welcome the change that looks nice:
Some,we resist, but end up alright:
And, then, there are so many shades inbetween!
Today, let's pray for change in our hearts. Change that propells us deeper into relationship with Jesus. Try to see trials and annoyances as refining us - bringing us to "completion." (Phillipians 1:6)
